Which capacitor has high precision

Which capacitors are best for high-performance applications?

Polypropylene Film Capacitors: These are the go-to for high-performance applications. Polypropylene film capacitors have excellent temperature stability and low dielectric absorption, making them ideal for applications like audio amplifiers and high-frequency oscillators. They’re a bit more expensive but offer superior performance.

Which type of capacitor is best?

If an engineer’s design demands a precision and stable capacitor, she or he will usually turn to NPO-type multi-layer ceramic (MLCC). This old standby is still the best. If you haven’t checked them out recently, you will find that manufacturers have been able to reduce their case size and extend their value range considerably.

Which film capacitors have high capacitance?

Among an extensive range of film capacitors, CDE's Type FCA acrylic film capacitors like the FCA0805C104M-J2 offer high capacitance values in standard surface mount case sizes. The series offers a capacitance range of 0.10 µF to 1.0 µF.

Are film capacitors reliable?

Film capacitors can have very high precision capacitor values, which they retain for longer than other capacitor types. They are very reliable with long shelf and service lives, with an aging process that’s generally slower than other types such as electrolytic. They have low ESR and ESL values, therefore very low dissipation factors.

Which type of capacitor is best for resonant circuits?

Class 1: offers high stability and low losses for resonant circuit applications (NP0, P100, N33, N75, etc.). Class 2: offers high volumetric efficiency for buffer, bypass, and coupling applications (X7R, X5R, Y5V, Z5U, etc.). Class 1 ceramic capacitors offer the highest stability and lowest losses.

Which silicon capacitors are best for RF & microwave applications?

AVX, Murata, and Vishay offer them in low values (100 pf or less) targeting RF and microwave applications. IPDIA provides silicon capacitors in values from 10 pF to 3.3 µF in 1005 to 1812 package sizes. Key benefits touted by the manufacturer are low profile (400 µm), low leakage, high stability, high reliability, and extended temperature range.
